Charming Beach chalet a few 100m from Gwithian beach with sea views. Perfect for surfers, walkers and beach lovers. Sunset Surf is next door. Other local surf schools also close by. Hayle is 3.5 miles. St. Ives is also in easy reach. Penzance is 12 miles. It is a stunning seaside location close to the SW coastal path with fantastic walks along the beautiful cornish coastline. Great for couples and solo adventurers. Free parking available.

I live here with my two dogs, Gussy and Sydney and Cat Thomas. The chalet has 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large kitchen area and a generous living room space with log burning stove, views across the bay to St. Ives and some beautiful sun sets. There is also a spacious garden at the rear and decked area with outside seating.

Gwithian Towans is a neighbourhood of beach chalets nestled amongst the sand dunes with access to Gwithian beach only a few hundred meters away. The beach is patrolled by RNLI life guards from mid May to late September. The area is very popular with surfers, windsurfers, kite surfers, walkers, families and beach lovers in general. There are various Cafes close by including Sunset Surf, The Jam Pot and The Godrevy Cafe. The Sunset Surf Cafe is one of our closest neighbours and is also a surf school, offering lessons and equipment hire as well as a surf shop. 5 mins drive away is the village of Hayle with access to supermarkets, M&S, Asda as well as local shops and amenities.

You have your own entrance and front door leading into an open plan living room with an en-suit wet-room all approx 20m2. We are about 800m from the beach and can offer Acupuncture, CST, Shiatsu and Meditation. The surf is good and pub 100m away

Your own front door a stone's throw from the beach and the pub is less than 100m away. Open plan with an en-suite wetroom, real oak floor, patio doors and large window for plenty of light. We recently added a fold down dinner table and a kitchenette with a fridge, sink and microwave.

Quiet seaside village with local pub. Nature reserve and seal sanctuary all within a short walk, its great to take some time out and relax by the high cliffs and sandy beaches but also with a vibrant water sport scene here and not too far if you fancied a night out. Hayle and supermarkets 5 min drive.

We were kindly welcomed by Pierre's son, who quickly showed us around in the studio. Although the check-in hour is 4h00 p.m., we were allowed to drop off our luggage earlier so we could spend more time sightseeing and surfing. In case of a little problem, Pierre helped us right away, even at 9 pm in the evening. He also provided us with good tips about places to visit and eat. The neighborhood was very peaceful and an stone's throw away from the beach. I could not have been more perfect for our sufing holiday. The studio has got all what you need: soft bed, practical place to eat, neat bathroom and fine kitchenette. We look back at our short stay at Pierre's with happy thoughts and hope to visit Gwithian before long again!

Roeland2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Pierre's place last week and had a great time. It has all the facilities you need and Gwithian is a really pretty village with some good places to eat and a great beach. Pierre and his family were really friendly and gave us some good suggestions of places we should visit.

Lauren2015-07-31T00:00:00Z

Simple, comfortable and cosy. All the necessities are provided for in a considered & practical way, that makes great use of the compact space. The welcome ( for us and our small dog) was warm but not intrusive. In a ideal location for accessing Gwithian beach. Thank you Pierre.

mark2016-01-03T00:00:00Z

Pierre and his wife were both very welcoming. Caroline showed us around the studio and even left us some milk in the fridge for that very much needed cup of tea after our journey! We were given a memory foam top-up mattress to put on the sofa-bed which was very comfortable. We were able to cook our breakfast outside on our camping stove and also given access to the washing facilities. (We were camping in the week so this was a God-send!) The en-suite was great and the shower was lovely! We went across to the local pub for food - really good atmosphere and a good menu. A taxi into Hayle costs around £8 and the beach is a short walk from the apartment. Would definitely recommend staying here - especially if you're a surfer!

Sarah2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Pierre and Caroline were lovely hosts and were very kind picking us up and drop us from the train station. They gave us all necessary info about places to visit and were a great help. The studio is very well located, cosy and clean and had everything we needed for our first visit to these stunning Cornish coast. Our little one (eight months old) enjoyed the music instruments left for him there by Caroline. We will come back again for sure.

sandra2015-09-15T00:00:00Z

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, Pierre and Caroline made us feel extremely welcome. The studio is perfect for a short stay: a comfortable bed, a compact kitchen area, a great wet-room and a pull-down dining table.

Steve2015-07-08T00:00:00Z

Pierre was very accommodating, the space is clean and pleasant with nice local walks.

Shane 2015-09-02T00:00:00Z

The studio is just as described and everything we needed it to be - clean, comfy, cosy and quiet. The place had a very homely feel, we couldn't tell that anyone had ever stayed there before us! There is everything you need for a break in Cornwall - a comfy bed, a hot powerful shower and a kitchenette. The location is great for the beautiful surrounding beaches with a supermarket nearby as well. The beaches nearby are perfect for surfing and other water sports. St Ives is a short drive as well which was great for getting some dinner. Pierre is a fantastic host, couldn't be more welcoming and very happy to answer any questions. The flexible checking in and out times were great for us and were not a problem for Pierre (despite not checking in until 10pm and checking out at 2pm). Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about staying here. Great place and even better host!

A very cosy converted studio. In the heart of Gwithian village, country pub a stroll away, 5 min walk over sand dunes to the beach, bar and bistro 10 minute walk through the nature reserve. One double bed in a bunk style (you need to like ladders!)

The studio is part of The Old Post Office in Gwithian, we don't sell stamps but you'll want to send a postcard from here...
The double bed is only accessible by ladder kind of a double adults bunk, it's like being a kid again. The headroom is restricted, but it's super cosy - especially with the wood burning fire roaring below.

The village is a 'proper' village, although we do get lots of visitors to the beach in the summer or walkers taking on the coast path, bird watchers in the right season, surfers / kite surfers / windsurfers when the conditions are right - the locals never leave, which says a lot about a place.

Genuinely the best Airbnb experience I've ever ever had!The best beach in the UK was a 10 minute walk away, with good surf and a really chill feeling. We ended up spending most of our days walking down to that beach and either surfing or just chilling out and eating good food from the clifftop cafe. Jody + James were helpful throughout and always on hand to give us a few tips, they even offered out their BBQ for us to borrow down at the beach. Good town super close with food and bars, and St Ives has everything you need. Stay here! I can't rate it highly enough and I'm looking forward to staying again next summer. Thanks for having us, such a solid week of sun and surfing

Harry2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

We booked The Old Post Office for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Jody, James and Bailey Bear made us feel very welcome in the lovely village of Gwithian and were happy to offer advice on where to visit and places to eat. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us and the cosy hideaway was exactly as described, very stylish, very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The Old Post Office is very well located, about 10 minutes walk to the amazing Gwithian beach and Godrevy Head. The Godrevy Cafe does fabulous breakfast and yummy coffee and cakes. In the village, just up the road from The Old Post Office there is a very friendly pub with great food, we had dinner here three times during our stay. Gwithian is also a great location, not far to travel to the places we visited including St Michael's Mount, Mousehole and St Ives.

Sam2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

Cozy little cottage within walking distance from some of the most beautiful coastline I've ever seen. The Old Post Office had everything we needed, it was clean, warm and a perfect size for two. Jody was a fantastic host recommending lots of good places to eat and visit. We'll be back!

Ben2015-11-06T00:00:00Z

Jody and James made us feel super welcome - a fully stocked woodpile was particularly appreciated during a January cold snap! The property itself was awesome, somehow you get the feeling you are in the middle of knowwhere despite only being two minutes from the pub. The elevated sleeping area was great, felt like a mini-adventure each evening, especially when the hale was bouncing off the Velux window. Romantic, well thought out and only a quick walk to the pub and the surf - we'll definitely be coming back!

Howie2016-01-18T00:00:00Z

Great, friendly hosts with a nice bit of local knowledge to tap into. There was even a nice bottle of red awaiting us! This is a great spot for accessing so much of the local area. There are a couple of lovely cafes and restaurants within a 5/10 minute walk of the property and venturing further along the coastal path you find a few more. The property itself was wonderfully quaint and had everything we needed for the two night stay. The bed was just about okay for my partner and me, however, we are 5ft 4' and 5ft 1'! Much taller than that and you may find it a little cramped if there is more than one in the bed. All in all a wonderful stay and we are hopeful to return to the area in the very near future.

Rebecca2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Had a wicked time at this cosy getaway just what we ordered!!! The accommodation was fantastic very well done with everything you wanted there!! Great location with the pub a stones throw away, the beach a very short walk away and a great coastal walk!! Excellent hosts and a great next door neighbour who was just as welcoming and a great character!! All round great weekend even topped off with excellent weather!!! Some may say Cornwall is as good as Devon!!

Tom2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

This first floor two bedroom suite has one double and one twin bedroom. The living area has a picture window looking across the garden and fields, perfect for soaking up the sun during the day, and watching the sunset in the evening.

Nice, clean and neat flat, perfect for a family. We didn't take full advantage of it as we stayed there just for one night, but it has a big, bright living room/kitchen area that would make it cozy also for longer stays. Tyson was very kind and helpful too.

Verdiana2015-07-18T00:00:00Z

Thanks for a great holiday, the apartment keeps its promises. Tyson is a very nice helpful host.

Yvonne2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Wolf Rock, which was good value for money. The lounge and kitchen are spacious, and the beds comfy. Tyson was very helpful, and only a text or short walk away should we need him. The location is great as you can walk to the beach, and there are supermarkets a short drive away in Hayle. The local pub had a beer festival on which was fun, and the Rock Pool cafe/restaurant along the beach front served great food. I would recommend Gwithian as a good place to visit for a walking or surfing holiday. Wolf Rock is a nice, no frills, place to stay.

Natalie2016-03-29T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely stay at the apartment. Very clean, spacious and well equipped. Great communication from Tyson and very helpful. Short distance from a beautiful beach. Would stay again

Penny2016-04-03T00:00:00Z

Great location, nice spacious apartment, well equipped and comfortable. We had a lovely time. Tyson's wife was very nice and let us in before check in time, this way we could unload the bags and food leaving us more time to enjoy the beautiful beach nearby. Would certainly recommend it!

Kate2016-03-21T00:00:00Z

The apartment is very spacious - plenty of room for our family of four. We were only here one night, but the location is great. Easy to find thanks to Tyson's great directions. Parking on site in back is also helpful. We enjoyed our stay although it was short.

kaija2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Lovely, modern furnished, clean flat with a well equipped kitchen in a nice quiet location. Great pub just down the road which serves good food...very handy when we arrived late without having had the chance to stop for food! Tyson was friendly, very welcoming and accommodating given our later arrival time. One minor niggle was there didn't appear to be a mirror near any plug sockets making it a bit tricky straightening/blow drying hair. The sound proofing with the flat below was a bit of an issue but this was mostly down to having some inconsiderate neighbours, so would suggest taking earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Despite this, very pleased to find this little gem and hope to return in the future.

Hannah2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

The apartment was exactly as shown by the pictures and very well equipped (coffee maker, lots of knives, pans and sauce pans etc.). Good wifi connection, good location with very nice beach nearby. We saw Taylor at our arrival, he showed us the apartment and was very nice and helpful. He provided a cot and high chair as well. The only thing that surprised me is that the apartment is in an apartments building, but the other apartments were quiet (it was quite familiar) and we had a very happy Easter!
